[App] Camera & Gallery App from S4 Google Edition

Hi there.
A new camera mod/app from S4 Google Edition has leaked. You can install it like a normal app and you don't lose your Sense camera! I gave it a short try and it seems to work, but i had not enough time to test all (especially photosphere, but it should do). Also the Gallery is included.
If you wanna try, you can download here: http://goo.gl/02po9

This works on the Boost mobile variant but I couldn't pick the image quality so the pictures didn't come out good.

I did not change the img quality (its on 5 mp) and for me it works. All pics are fine and i can watch them on gallery.

I have just tried it on my stock K2_UL running 4.1.2. It installs just fine, the gallery app works, the camera starts, but it doesn't seem to be able to focus properly, even in perfect lighting conditions.

Working GREAT on my Boost SV. Thanks bro.

Nice that it work for you bro, you got a pm.

The gallery is awesome but the camera app could have been better..

I use always sense 5 camera.
I think the most interesting feature of this camera here is photosphere.

Change photo/video storage location?
I installed this on my hTC One SV on Boost mobile. The camera stores videos/pictures on the internal phone storage partition. Is there any way to modify this app so it stores the photos/videos on the external SD card? I've tried going into Settings->Storage & changing camera storage location there. This camera does not seem to be affected by that setting.
Thank you for your help...

As it seems that S4 Google Edition has no external sdcard i don't think that there is an option for that.

This camera works better than the stock/Sense5 one. Stock camera often takes blurry photos.

...but it causes random freezes, like i explained in another thread:
I believe that my problems lie in S4 Camera app and not in internal memory switch or dropbox... That saddens me, because S4 Camera app produced much better pics than the stock Sense camera
I dont know why and how those freezes happen, but it happens after taking the picture, when screen turns off. When phone freezes, picture (file) gets corrupted and unreadable.
I also remember one time happening when gallery (S4) remained opened and phone screen turned off.
While i had dropbox auto-sync enabled it happened more often, but turning it off didnt make the problem to go away, rather it made it happen slightly more rarely.

If anyone has a solution, or advice on the matter (that does not involve removing the app ) i would appreciate it.

[Q] Vertical lines when taking pictures with the back camera

The pictures are here: http://imgur.com/a/3TRw7
This only happens with the back camera, and it's not caused by the camera app. I also tried rebooting but it didn't help. Is this a hardware issue?

How do you know it isn't caused by the camera app? How many camera apps have you tested?
Transmitted via Bacon

I've tested google camera, snapchat, and the cyanogenmod camera. How many do I need to test?

That should be sufficient, I take it you're getting the vertical lines on all cameras?

Yeah exactly , I showed both images from Google camera and cyanogen in the album and they all had lines. I just didn't include the snapchat one because I thought it would be redundant.

The first thing I'd try would be a factory reset. If that doesn't work then I'd perform a full wipe and flash clean, either CM11S or a custom ROM.

I think it was the lighting actually, i change rooms a few times, no lines. So this might be it, I'm going to keep an eye for the next few days and take pictures in different lighting

Does that room have vertical blinds on the windows?

Its a known bug. The only camera app dont affected is the stock One. All the others when take a picture with flash make a line in the middle.

That's a completely different situation, not at all like the one described in this thread.
Transmitted via Bacon

Since this thread already exists, I was hoping I can ask a question about an issue that I have that is similar in a way. When I try to record in slow motion or even use a qr scan code app, I get weird lines going through my screen, is this software or is my camera messed up? I know it is not from the cyanogen camera app because I also tried a third party qr scanner app. This is an example I just recorded. Any ideas? Thanks!

Same problem

I got my oneplus on friday, and I am having the same issue, did you can fix it ?

SImilar Issue
I have a similar issue with back camera in my OPO. I get black spots on the lower left corner. Is this a software bug or is this a manufacturing defect?

This only happens with cm Roms and google camera app while flash on. I tried to replicate with PA 4.6 ROM and it was taking pictures well. This does not happen on cm camera . so its definitely a software bug.

Hey,
I've started to experience the same issue.
Screenshots attached.

I've the same problem with the CM12 Unofficial and the CM12 Camera. For now I've not yet tried the Google Camera, but I've also tried to use Camera FX, that have the same issue.
Now I'm testing the new version of FV-5, that some people say that fix this issue.
EDIT: What are the difference between google camera and CM12 camera? they seems identical!

Solved!!! One plus camera issue with CM12
This started happening a couple of months ago, then I finally found somebody that said simply uninstall the Google camera, uninstall the CM camera, them install the one plus one 11s camera. I did and the photos are pretty awesome now.

Just reflash the custom rom "YOG4PAS1N0" :good: hope it helps you.

It stop working when i try to take a pic with flash
Edit: I installed new version V4 and it's fixed
I just wanted to know 1 thing please, I installed pixel experience on Xiaomi Note4x, Do I need to modify build prop with persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 for your camera to be fully supported?
Edit2: (Sorry..) The app still crashes sometimes , and it get stuck with flash led open and doesnt take a pic :/

App crashes sometimes, camera stopped working, relaunch and keep stopped working and stop. Relaunch again with hdr off, can take picture, after took it, stopped working, relaunch turn on hdr, take a picture, failed, and stopped working. Keep on repeating until restart the phone, everything normal for while like few hours, and crashes occur again. @cardinal OREO rom

I have installed This latest version of Camera from the first post in this thread. I am using AOSIP ROM with Oreo 8.1 with Electrablue Kernel. Camera is working great for the first time for me. Picture quality is insanely Good. And Camera is stable. I found only one problem, If snaps are taken too fast (2 snaps) in Portrait mode, App crashes & none of photos from both snaps are saved. However, I can live with that. Because It can take Great Portrait photos in both front and rear camera. Great piece of work.

hi,
I have tried several settings using GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.2.apk and:
- app stops when switch to front camera
- if not crash immediately, app stops when I tap to take a photo
- only with HDR totally disabled camera shots a photo but it is BW with some stripes
Any suggestions?

I'm using this one https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/GCamera_Mod_v.5.1.23_R5Plus_fix_crash.apk
So far so good. I like the personalization menu of this one better than the Arnova one.
Didn't test it thoroughly, but in both versions portrait camera works and so does slow motion (this two were the most reported bugs I saw).
Anyone trying diferent versions, let us know so we can compare.

Works perfectly with Camera2 API Enabler by P1N20.
Thanks a lot for sharing ! With HDR on quality seems better !
And Google panorama feature is a must

It's working for me. But if it's not working, I suggest (,reinstalling or,) trying the one it's based on (check my previous post). And if still buggy, try others posted here. Or go for the arnova ones. They act like regular apps, so you can try and try.
Also, I've noticed they treat the colors in a diferent way. If anyone with time wants to compare the actual pictures, it'll be nice

Could someone that has followed this guide and enabled camera2 API download this app from play store. Camera2 probe https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.weis.camera2probe
And post your screenshot please
I have not enable camera2 API yet and was curious if that physically changes the hardware level support.
Thanks in advance

For the front cam, the flash thingy (white screen of death) causes a crash. Disabling it will let you have a front cam that doesnt take pictures lol

@adriakus thanks for the report bruh. Tried the one you shared and front cam works! Updated the post for others. Thanks man!

@fake__knv Thx for the credit! I'll keep trying other versions from now and then and I'll post them here if I find any differences.

Difference - do you mean picture quality or colours?

Hello,
I am assuming that everyone knows the workaround for:
1. Gcam not opening (crashing) on some versions 7 .0 or 6.2.
2. Screen freeze while in Picture mode
3. Neutral colours.
These can be fixed through settings or developer settings . Still if someone needs help, I would be glad to help (provided camera version is compatiable or even partially compatible with RM5P).

Freeze happens once you open settings (in some versions).
Please do this (and this procedure will work on many other versions too)
Settings/Other Settings/ViewFinder Format
Select "JPEG"
Even if it is JPEG-reselect it again and go back.
Worked?
